SHIT GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

no for real, I was just thinking that!!

I was like typing stuff at work and it suddenly started hurting really really bad :(

It could be tendonitis, and physiotherapy works if it's really bad

my old job required me to write nonstop all day long. by the end of a few weeks of doing that, i couldn't hold anything in my right hand for more than a few seconds before dropping it. thank god thats done now.

Repetitive strain injuries are common, but they aren't always carpal tunnel. If you start getting tingly-shooty pains up your first 2 fingers (index and middle), you should go see a doctor.

You are smarter than the average bear!

I was just going to suggest you need to jerk off more to work on dem
wrist muscles but you beat me to it.

definitely get a brace...they're like 12 bucks at safeway or anywhere like that

they'll help stabalize your wrist

also use some aspirin before work for preventative therapy and ice mixed with heat and some advil after work if it hurts

if it gets really bad go to the doctor and ask for an anti-inflammatory

lol

on a side note: think im gonna be needing to meet up with you again shortly

i've had carpal tunnel for a long time.

what helps is those natural keyboards, get your work to purchase one for you and you should see a difference within the first week.

Try to take more breaks in between.

If you have numbness in your hand then it may definantly be a case of carpal, but if your arm hurts and when you lift things it feels like an electric shock up your arm, it's tendonitis in most cases.

just typing this hurt. :)

but yeah, all I do all day is type. natural keyboards are the best thing - and dont take that long of getting used to.

**MC Hammered** · #16 (**permalink**) Jul 21, 04

Why don't you just go ask to see if they can hire you a cute assistant to type for you?

krisamata · #17 (**permalink**) Jul 21, 04

^^^ or just put marty in a skirt and get him to do it for you

he can even sit on your lap as he types

Move you up?

you can try taking MSM [ Methylsulfonylmethane.. i think it is]

anyways, it's really good for your joints, especially if you have something like tendonitis. my dad has tendonitis in his elbow and it really helped him out a lot.
